Update on Sammi
1st of all, let me say thank you to you all for the T&P's. I was really stressed out today but it looks like Sammi will pull through. His tail is alive again. Albeit shaved and with a wound. He has to take medicine for the next 2 weeks. He was also such a trooper on the trains and bus. I am home alone so he is in the BR with me at my feet taking little taps. I am going to lock him in the 2nd bedroom later on but for now, I am letting him take a bit of A/C as its quite hot. What a day...I really thought I was going to lose him.
Now onto fiscal matters LOL, anyone wanna recommend their pet insurance? Do you think insurance is worth it? I was thinking to just save a bit every month for him in a special account and use it for his emergency fund (actually I did that but used it up last Christmas 
) so I would appreciate any suggestions on saving $$ at the vet.
Thanks again to you all for your kind words and support.

Re: Update on Sammi
I'm so glad that Sammi is home, with a tail and getting some loving and pamperin. Poor little guy!
We have VPI, too. I took out the insurance after we had a couple of major problems. Since then they have been pretty good. None of the insurances really cover dental. I have heard good things about ASPCA. I like that ASPCA has one $100 deductible for the entire year, not $50 per incident.
Big (((hugs))) to you and Sammi tonight!
I'm a little late reading the update, but just wanted to say I'm happy he is home and doing well! I'm glad he'll get to keep his tail (and I'm sure he is as well).
Speedy recovery!
As for pet insurance. I have the 4 cats so for me to insure all 4 of them it would run be about $120 a month. I'm not sure if it is worth it or not for us. Plus you also have to take into consideration the deductibles. It'll cost me a small fortune. But for you, with having just Sammi, it may be worth it. I'd definitely look into it.
I hope he feels better soon...
